What is leucoderma? Its causes, symptoms & Effcetive Treatment

Leucoderma is a disorder of the skin in the human body. In other words, it is a skin disease in which the layers of the skin lose the skin pigment named as melanin slowly. Consequently, there is discoloration of the skin and white patches appear all over the body. The white patches may be found on the entire body parts such as the face, genitals and even on the scalp.

Causes

Medical science is still making efforts to recognize the accurate causes for the occurrence of Leucoderma in human beings. Some of the factors which are considered to be responsible for this condition are genetic factors, the presence of worms or parasites in the digestive system, extreme conditions of stress, anxiety and worry and excessive intake of inconsistent foods such as milk and fish or milk and salt. Even persistent gastric problems or enhanced liver functions are said to be responsible for Leucoderma. Injuries in the brain also sometimes lead to whiteness of the skin.

Apart from this, untimely or early graying of the eyebrows, beard, eyelashes, and hair of scalp is noticeable.

The main causative factor in terms of Ayurveda for Leucoderma is the provocation of the Pitta Dosha which represents fire in the human body. Due to its intensification and imbalance in its associate named as Bhrajak Pitta, there is discoloration of the skin which manifests in the form of white patches. It is due to the accumulation of toxins in the layers of the skin.

In addition to it, there are some other body tissues such as Mansa, Rakta, Rasa Dhattu and Lasika which combined lead to the condition of Leucoderma.  The Ayurvedic treatment involves restoring balance amid all these as well as treating the digestive problems to get cure of the disease.
